Hi!
My grandfather was born in Urbanna Ohio, Champaign County, I believe in 1877, one of 6 brothers and one sister.
The brothers names are John, James, David and three others I cannot read, and the sister was Anne.
Their father and mother were James Thomas McKeown and Bridgette Marie Griffin-McKeown and they were born in County Tyronne N.Ireland. I am in the process of doing the same thing.,
I do know that Urbanna, Ohio had a large immigrant Irish population that lived primarily in an area called "Dugans Ditch".
The majority of them were railroad workers and my grandfather, John Edward McKeown was an engineer on the Mew York Central railroad.
I hope this information is helpful.
Best regards,
Tim McKeown (Timothy is actually me middle name)
